Abstract

Summary form only given. An overview of the neutron emission profiles measured in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) during the 1998 experimental campaign is presented. FTU is a high magnetic field compact device and takes part in the European tokamak project. The neutron emission profiles are obtained by means of a 6-channel collimator equipped with NE213 organic scintillators and neutron/gamma pulse shape discrimination circuitry. Particular care has been given to the construction of the multicollimator and it shielding components, due to the material.
